Haunted Palm Springs The Lady In Red Korakia Pensione Gordon Gertrude Coutts Scary Wandering Ghost
The ghost of the lady in red. Interesting footnote: Immediately after videoing, as I walked back to the car, some kind of large hornet hit me in the side of the head. I was immediately then harassed by a fly that would not leave me, and ended up inside my car. I eventually got him out of the car. I sat there awhile, and started to feel sick to my stomach, and felt an urgent need to leave.

10. UNCLAIMED BAGGAGE CENTER
An impressive 99.5 percent of domestic airline baggage is retrieved by the owner at the carousel. The remaining half percent undergoes an extensive three-month effort to reunite the lost items with their owners. Unfortunately, some of these bags remain unclaimed after this search effort.
9. HOLE ‘N THE ROCK
During the 1940’s, Albert and Gladys Christensen carved a 5,000 square foot home inside a massive sheet of rock in southeastern Utah’s Canyonlands Country. In 1952, after excavating more than 50,000 cubic feet of sandstone, the couple moved in. They ran a diner out of one of the room’s homes until 1955, when Albert had his first heart attack.
8. SALVATION MOUNTAIN
In the desert of Southern California, about 80 miles southeast of Palm Springs, there’s a 50-foot-high, 150-foot-wide mountain made out of local adobe clay. The clay mountain was covered in 100,000 gallons of paint by an artist who dedicated the mound to God.
7. LUCY THE MARGATE ELEPHANT
On Absecon Island near the Southern New Jersey seashore, there’s a 65-foot-tall wooden elephant staring out at the ocean. The elephant was named Lucy and according to historians, the sight of her caused shocked sailors to stop drinking rum for days. The bizarre pachyderm was designed and built by a land speculator named James V. Lafferty, Jr.
6. WALL OF GUM
When you are done chewing gum, hopefully you throw it away, because otherwise, you’d be littering - unless you’re in the cities of Seattle, Washington or San Luis Obispo, California, both of which feature their very own walls of gum. Bubblegum Alley in San Luis Obispo started sometime after World War II, likely as the result of a challenge between two rival schools or a tradition started by a graduating class.
5. CARHENGE
Stonehenge is located in Wiltshire, England, and is arguably one of the most important landmarks in history. In Alliance, Nebraska, you will find a very strange and unique tribute to that landmark in the form of Carhenge - as in Stonehenge, but instead of slabs of rock, you'll find cars. For the record, this isn't a simple mockery or tribute to Stonehenge.
4. WALL DRUG
Wall Drug may be strange when considered in a modern context, but back in the 1930's, it was one family's last hope for a sustainable life. In 1931, a man named Ted Hustead took his family and his last $3,000 and bought a small pharmacy in the South Dakota Badlands. At the time, the country was immersed in the Great Depression, and it wasn't an easy endeavor.
3. BALL OF TWINE
There are many tourists traps in the world that feature a largest [blank],” but one of the more interesting ones is the Ball of Twine in Cawker City, Kansas, which is, indeed, the world’s biggest ball of twine. It was created in 1953 by a local farmer named Frank Stoeber. He was unwell, and to pass the time, he rolled all his spare twine, which he’d saved from years of feeding bales of hay to his cows, into a ball.
2. ENCHANTED HIGHWAY
As you drive down Highway I-94 in North Dakota, you’ll pass a series of special monuments and statues that are far beyond what you might expect from this typical, humdrum Midwestern region. The spectacle begins near Gladstone at Exit 72 and continues for around 32 miles.
1. NICOLAS CAGE’S TOMB
You might be thinking, Wait a minute, isn't Nicolas Cage still alive? Well, yes, he is. Quite alive, in fact, and still making movies. However, as his acting career has proven, Cage has made a name for himself by doing rather eccentric things, including buying an extravagant tomb in New Orleans.

Lucille Ball
Lucille Désirée Ball (August 6, 1911 – April 26, 1989) was an American comedienne, model, film and television actress and studio executive. She was star of the sitcoms I Love Lucy, The Lucy–Desi Comedy Hour, The Lucy Show, Here's Lucy and Life with Lucy. Ball had one of Hollywood's longest careers.
In 1929, Ball landed work as a model and later began her performing career on Broadway using the stage name Diane Belmont. She performed many small movie roles in the 1930s and 1940s as a contract player for RKO Radio Pictures being cast as a chorus girl, or in similar roles, and was dubbed the Queen of the Bs (referring to her many roles in B-films).

These are the Top 20 Scary Stories from Season 1 of Al Dente Creepypasta. (It's pretty much all of Season 1.) Make sure you watch the entire video if you want to check out the secret bonus video I've hidden somewhere.
This is the grand finale of Season One of this series, so I thought it would be fun to revisit some stories that probably aren't too fresh in your mind anymore with this curated list of the best creepy horror stories, true scary stories and creepypasta stories.
This includes fan favorites like Creepy Clown School Lockdown, Tower of Terror Last Ride and I Found Some Disturbing Pictures in My Child's Backpack. Creepypastas are the campfire tales of the internet. Stories spread through forums and blogs, rather than word of mouth. Whether you believe them to be true or not is left to your own discretion and imagination.
Don't go anywhere, because in Season Two, I'll be doing some things that have never been done before in the world of audio based horror stories, featuring some of your favorite narrators and upping the bar on production value on YouTube once again.

Our Miss Brooks: Boynton's Barbecue / Boynton's Parents / Rare Black Orchid
Our Miss Brooks is an American situation comedy starring Eve Arden as a sardonic high school English teacher. It began as a radio show broadcast from 1948 to 1957. When the show was adapted to television (1952--56), it became one of the medium's earliest hits. In 1956, the sitcom was adapted for big screen in the film of the same name.
Connie (Constance) Brooks (Eve Arden), an English teacher at fictional Madison High School.
Osgood Conklin (Gale Gordon), blustery, gruff, crooked and unsympathetic Madison High principal, a near-constant pain to his faculty and students. (Conklin was played by Joseph Forte in the show's first episode; Gordon succeeded him for the rest of the series' run.) Occasionally Conklin would rig competitions at the school--such as that for prom queen--so that his daughter Harriet would win.
Walter Denton (Richard Crenna, billed at the time as Dick Crenna), a Madison High student, well-intentioned and clumsy, with a nasally high, cracking voice, often driving Miss Brooks (his self-professed favorite teacher) to school in a broken-down jalopy. Miss Brooks' references to her own usually-in-the-shop car became one of the show's running gags.
Philip Boynton (Jeff Chandler on radio, billed sometimes under his birth name Ira Grossel); Robert Rockwell on both radio and television), Madison High biology teacher, the shy and often clueless object of Miss Brooks' affections.
Margaret Davis (Jane Morgan), Miss Brooks' absentminded landlady, whose two trademarks are a cat named Minerva, and a penchant for whipping up exotic and often inedible breakfasts.
Harriet Conklin (Gloria McMillan), Madison High student and daughter of principal Conklin. A sometime love interest for Walter Denton, Harriet was honest and guileless with none of her father's malevolence and dishonesty.
Stretch (Fabian) Snodgrass (Leonard Smith), dull-witted Madison High athletic star and Walter's best friend.
Daisy Enright (Mary Jane Croft), Madison High English teacher, and a scheming professional and romantic rival to Miss Brooks.
Jacques Monet (Gerald Mohr), a French teacher.
Our Miss Brooks was a hit on radio from the outset; within eight months of its launch as a regular series, the show landed several honors, including four for Eve Arden, who won polls in four individual publications of the time. Arden had actually been the third choice to play the title role. Harry Ackerman, West Coast director of programming, wanted Shirley Booth for the part, but as he told historian Gerald Nachman many years later, he realized Booth was too focused on the underpaid downside of public school teaching at the time to have fun with the role.
Lucille Ball was believed to have been the next choice, but she was already committed to My Favorite Husband and didn't audition. Chairman Bill Paley, who was friendly with Arden, persuaded her to audition for the part. With a slightly rewritten audition script--Osgood Conklin, for example, was originally written as a school board president but was now written as the incoming new Madison principal--Arden agreed to give the newly-revamped show a try.
Produced by Larry Berns and written by director Al Lewis, Our Miss Brooks premiered on July 19, 1948. According to radio critic John Crosby, her lines were very feline in dialogue scenes with principal Conklin and would-be boyfriend Boynton, with sharp, witty comebacks. The interplay between the cast--blustery Conklin, nebbishy Denton, accommodating Harriet, absentminded Mrs. Davis, clueless Boynton, scheming Miss Enright--also received positive reviews.
Arden won a radio listeners' poll by Radio Mirror magazine as the top ranking comedienne of 1948-49, receiving her award at the end of an Our Miss Brooks broadcast that March. I'm certainly going to try in the coming months to merit the honor you've bestowed upon me, because I understand that if I win this two years in a row, I get to keep Mr. Boynton, she joked. But she was also a hit with the critics; a winter 1949 poll of newspaper and magazine radio editors taken by Motion Picture Daily named her the year's best radio comedienne.
For its entire radio life, the show was sponsored by Colgate-Palmolive-Peet, promoting Palmolive soap, Lustre Creme shampoo and Toni hair care products. The radio series continued until 1957, a year after its television life ended.

Captains Courageous by Rudyard Kipling
Real men don't take guff from snotty kids. Neither does Disko Troop, skipper of the We're Here, a fishing schooner out of Gloucester, Massachusetts, when his crew fishes Harvey Cheyne out of the Atlantic. There's no place on the Grand Banks for bystanders, so Harvey is press-ganged into service as a replacement for a man lost overboard and drowned. Harvey is heir to a vast fortune, but his rescuers believe none of what he tells them of his background. Disko won't take the boat to port until it is full of fish, so Harvey must settle in for a season at sea. Hard, dangerous work and performing it alongside a grab-bag of characters in close quarters is a life-changing experience.
